Hello Hrvoje, how do you copy text into XEmacs-21.2b15 under X then? Try this please: Select text in a cmdtool or dtpad or textedit. Edit->Copy it. In an XEmacs window select some text to be replaced. Press the XEmacs Paste button. Does this replace the region with the copied text from outside XEmacs? The analoguous operation *has* worked on system-type windows-nt, window-system mswindows, previous to 21.2b15. I miss it badly (and so does Dmitry), sneaf, sneaf ..
